  2. The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to the United States. The sculptor was Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi. Inside, an iron framework engineered by Gustave Eiffel holds up a copper skin only about two and a half millimeters thick, roughly the thickness of two pennies. The statue was taken apart in France and arrived in New York on 17 June 1885 aboard the French ship Isère. She was dedicated on 28 October 1886, with President Grover Cleveland in attendance.

  3. Look closely. In her left hand is a tablet inscribed JULY IV MDCCLXXVI, the fourth of July, 1776, the date of the Declaration of Independence. At her feet lie a broken chain and shackle, commemorating the end of slavery. From the ground to the tip of her torch, she stands about three hundred and five feet tall.

  4. The statue rises from a granite pedestal designed by the architect Richard Morris Hunt. The money to build it was raised by Joseph Pulitzer's newspaper, the New York World. Underneath is Fort Wood, an eleven-pointed, star-shaped fort completed in 1811. Pedestal ticket holders can climb to the pedestal's observation level. Crown ticket holders climb one hundred and sixty-two steps from the statue's feet to the crown, and there is no elevator to the crown.

  5. Look up at the torch. Visitors haven't been allowed up there since 1916, after the Black Tom explosion. The torch you see today was installed in 1986, and its flame is covered in twenty-four-karat gold. The original torch is waiting for you inside the museum.
